While I'd like to see it crash and burn in three months or six months, I think they will introduce ship customization and cosmetics, especially for ones that don't exist.

Even if they don't, there will still be idiots to fleece. This poo poo could go on for a few more years. Dapper Dan fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Dec 11, 2015 |

Maybe the terrible patches aren't really patches after all. Maybe they're like the marks burglers leave on houses to let other burglers know what to expect. I mean, check this out... http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/dec/03/burglars-code-chalk-marks-wall The symbols are about the same level of crude. I think I'm on to something here.

aleksendr posted:That behaviour seem to be a weakness of the CryEngine and probably one of the reason the better CryEngine games feature few and simpler vehicule models. MWO: Online had the ability to ram other mechs in early beta (Allowing 100 tons assault to simply plow trough 20 tons scouts) but they decided to take it out forever (after telling the community they would "fix" it for 6 months) since the physics where pretty much like what we see now in SC, tens of tons of steel machines simply bumping into each others like rubber blimps.  Dragon Bowling. (For those that didn't play MWO, the Dragon is a 60 ton 'Mech that was able to mount a relatively large engine, and thus move pretty fast. But PGI had a typo in it's mech definition XML file which set the Dragon's mass to 100 tons, same as the max weight assault 'Mechs. Except unlike real 100 tonners, it could haul rear end, resulting in being able to just run in circles, continually knocking people over non stop so they couldn't even do anything. It was amazing).

Madcosby posted:My guess is that right before SC completely derails, Roberts will send out a final Letter for The Chairman a la the Escapist response, but blaming non-believers and publishers like EA (those vipers) for the failure. The cultists will eat it up and from henceforth they'll blame Derek Smart and goons for ruining America or whatever If this happen, the project will go down in history as the "Greatest game never made" and transcend its amorphous poo poo miasma into shining dream stuff. Having never been released, it will never suck and forever stay pure and perfect, reaching cult status like Jodorowsky Dune and the RCAF Avro Arrow project.

If CIG comes out and says "we either charge $25/month or the whole thing falls apart" I have no doubt there are enough people that won't just let go hundreds or thousands of dollars and at least 120k backers will be willing to cough that up for years to keep the Vision alive. You are seeing it already with all the "plenty of AAA games take a decade to make" stuff. They just have to keep feeding them slop and commercials a dozen hours per week and call that open development, give the illusion of progress and they can keep milking this cow until they eventually call it quits and poo poo something up that will be an immense disappointment to everyone involved. The whales will swear it's the most delicious turd they ever tasted but eventually even they will discretely move on, having learned nothing.

People are stupid enough to keep things going in perpetuity. The only thing that can really kill it is if Chris still pushes for extravagance without the money to support it.

Justin Tyme posted:I remember this quite well, and the ragdolls of the mechs were like stuffed animals in terms of weight. Yea, it definitely looked awful, and the worst part was you couldn't even shoot someone as they were falling down. The instant the ragdoll was triggered players would end up teleporting around in line with their momentum, but their position on screen wouldn't update until they started getting back up. So you'd see a 'Mech topple over, then it'd teleport 10 meters away in some other direction and start to stand up again. Except if you were the one doing the tackling and your weapons keep firing as you go down then it's amazing! (Apologies for the poo poo quality since this was before gifv was a thing and digging up the source is waaay too much effort but:)

MWO? In my Star Citizen thread? Dragon Bowling was great. The weird half-on collision they have in the game now is annoying as poo poo. Just enough to pip your legs down a couple percent because some retard in a trash can ran into you while spinning in 360s.

Sarsapariller posted:More PTU Gameplay: It's been three or four patches since the last time, so I figured I'd give it another go and see how the stability is. We've been talking a lot about Puhvuhpuh in here so I thought I'd make my mission for tonight to get at least one pvp kill, consensual or otherwise. Once again, you impress. Hey, do me a favor next time you're feeling suicidal (or masochistic, I dunno which anymore), try this: QD to array 126 fly back to where you started and tell me the following: 1) did you make it? 2) did you get "gridref error"? 3) did the range change before and after you got to the array?

Amarcarts posted:How is it possible for things like the Connie to be stuck halfway in the landing platform. Isn't there some block of code in the engine that essentially says "these are solid objects"? It's not that. When stuff like that happens in a multiplayer game, it means that the object (Connie) was loaded before the scene (client) and since the server is the arbiter for synching, the Connie was loaded before the scene was complete. That, and physics can also cause these issues if out of synch. As far as the server is concerned, it's all good, as in "wtf are you going on about? there's a Connie sitting right there and it looks just fine to me" Meanwhile, you - the observer client - are staring at a Connie buried into the platform

So one of my Corp mates suggested I do this and I'm mentally preparing myself for the shitstorm of comments to follow, but long story short my soon yo be ex wife is extremely needy and unable to occupy her time without a man in her physical presence. At first this was awesome, but as Eve became more intriguing to me she became upset. I've tried to explain to her that I use eve to help with my ptsd from the war... As opposed to running outside doing some stupid poo poo and getting arrested.... So here I am now letting it all out on the line. I've spoken to close friends and Corp mates and most have had a similar sentiment... gently caress her she's no good regardless of what she looks like. So Ask Me Anything. oh and since people have asked this is what she looks like http://imgur.com/SLHVMZx

EightAce posted:Judging by the pointed questions being asked by CIG in their refund mails it seems as if they themselves are planning some sort of legal attack on various parties, possibly citing how the accusations have impacted upon their ability to operate. Don't be an idiot. Asking if Derek Smart or The Escapist is the reason for a refund is legally actionable how? I can't tell that a) you have no idea how any of this works b) you have no idea about how legal action works Then again, if Ortwin asked them to ask those questions, it all makes perfect sense since he's a buffoon. Let me help you: In order for them to have a claim, they have to prove damages In order for them to prove damages, they have to show financials In order to prove damages, you don't pick a number out of a hat. ergo if 10 people say yeah, it was The Escapist, your "damages" is restricted to the total amount of the refund for those 10 Then you have the unenviable task of proving that how The Escapist or Derek Smart somehow influenced the thinking of an individual who, after exercising free will, asked for his money back Bonus Tip: The courts are littered with case law throwing out poo poo like the above and it's specifically the sort of crap that anti-SLAAP laws were made for By your asinine reasoning, every restaurant on Yelp would be suing people posting bad reviews which cause other people to not visit. Oh wait! That's right, some have actually tried that. Cases tossed. Damages awarded. In short, it all boils down to this: A magazine wrote something. It made some people who gave us money for a game we haven't delivered, ask for refunds. So we refunded and lost money. It's the magazine (or Derek Smart) fault. The judge would have a field day. As would the press. ps: considering how much money they have made between July to Nov, it would be amazing to read how their "ability to operate" has been damaged pps: take this poo poo to Reddit. No clowns here

Gerblyn posted:Thing is, either you believe SC started development in 2011 (as stated by CR when the kickstarter came out) which means we're currently seeing the results of 4+ years of development, or you buy the current Brown Sea line of "Development didn't really start until late 2013/early 2014", which means that all the work done in 2012 and 2013 effectively doesn't count and was all wasted. The latter sounds fine, until you realize that it probably cost $20-30m of backer money to run CIG in that 2 year period. Yes. Morons.
